Beltran and Wright Win Gold Gloves...

Carlos Beltran and David Wright won Gold Gloves for their defensive efforts.

Beltran now has three in a row. The New York center fielder finished third in the NL with eight outfield assists.
"Even on the days when I don't get a hit, I feel I can make a difference in the field," Beltran said.

Wright appreciated his second straight Gold Glove, but he just wished it could have come in a year when the Mets made the playoffs. "Individual awards are nice, but, for me, my entire focus is on the team and getting back to the playoffs," Wright said.

Here is the full list:
